Coding is voting by lazy consensus :)
Go for it. Gump is building the HEAD of the world, why shouldn't it work from the HEAD as well?

Do folks mind if we mandate Python 2.3 for Gump?
Is this something we need a vote on? Something to grab folks attention, before I break things on them? [I'm guessing a VOTE is a lousy way to provoke participation, I'm guessing most folks (who read this request) are (like myself) not Python experts, so aren't responding. I still need to determine how to move on though.]
[Lack of answers to questions like this is why I worry about the traffic volume. I think there is too much volume for most of our community to monitor at a level they can process/participate (given that Gump is a sideline). Alternative ideas on how to solve that appreciated...]
Personally, I don't have the expertise to judge if Python 2.3 has taken over from 2.2, however there are a lot of nice things in 2.3 (e.g. introduction of Boolean True/False keywords) and I'd really like to make the switch. That said, if anybody has a problem with it, and/or Python 2.3's coverage of OSs, I can wait.
BTW: I see Python 2.3.4 is finalized http://python.org/2.3.4/, and has RPMs http://python.org/2.3.4/rpms.html. Most stable is marked as 2.3.3. (http://python.org/doc/faq/general.html#how-stable-is-python). As such, I assume some 2.3 is out there for most environments, but I don't know that. [FWIIW: Python 2.4 is in the works. ]
